Scratch that you can use apktool to disassemble the apk modify the xml file so.you can get the proper resolution and allow an app to run on GTV that normally won't so I am going to give it a go see what I can come up with

This would really be interesting if its possible as some of the apps seem to force close due to screen orientation issues. I hope something comes of this.

jbloggs, you can side load the app "Orientation Control" and lock the screen in "Landscape" mode so the apps will work.

Thanks Killer, that worked wonders. Got a couple of apps working this way. One that worked some what was the Veetle app, but it requires Adobe Flash to be installed which has been blocked. I even tried installing the Flash apk and gave some parsing error. Thanks again.
